Canadian abortion debate canceled

Some pro-choicers in Canada appear to be taking a page out of the Joyce Arthur playbook and trying to stop an abortion debate.
Margaret Fung, President of Students for Bioethical Awareness (SBA), one of the hosting clubs, describes what happened: "I was told in a meeting by members of the York Federation of Students that debating abortion is comparable to debating whether a man should be allowed to beat his wife. They said that there is freedom of speech to a limit, and that abortion is not an issue to debate. They demanded that the event not take place and shut us down."
How tolerant of them.
